A microwave oven doesnât heat up your kitchen as much as a conventional oven, reducing the load on your air conditioner. Of course, this factor only matters during the summer. If you can fit the food you are cooking into a countertop toaster oven, cooking it there will use less energy than a conventional electric oven.

Many visitors and new inhabitants who have lived in the Sonoran Desert for a brief amount of time believe the desert has three seasons: perfect, hot, and hell. When one is accustomed to more dramatic changes from season to season (and cooler weather) this may appear to be true. The Sonoran Desert does indeed have four seasons but the changes are unique and subtle. The Sonoran Desert has two rain seasons. In winter, roughly from December to March, occasional and gentle rains move in from the north Pacific. Along the western border of the Sonoran Desert lies high mountain ranges which block the Pacific Ocean storms from permeating the desert with full force.
